Part 3: Mental Health Safety Awareness

Join CCS for our third part in our Safety Series where we will focus on the importance of mental health in the construction industry. The construction field presents unique challenges that can take a toll on both the physical and mental well-being of its workforce. From the stress of demanding projects to the emotional impact of workplace injuries, mental health is a growing concern that cannot be ignored.

This event will provide a comprehensive look at how physical injuries, often seen as the primary risks in construction, can also have a lasting impact on mental health. Our panel of experts will discuss the signs and symptoms of mental health struggles, strategies for creating supportive environments, and how to develop resources for employees in need. We will focus on the well-being of construction workers and the importance of integrating mental health considerations into safety practices. Attendees will learn about common mental disorders, signs and symptoms, and the impact of mental health on individuals and the workplace. Participants will also be provided with the tools to develop and implement a mental health safety program within their organization or community.
